President's Message 

Welcome everyone to the 2025 Northwest Dental Exposition (NWDE)!

It is my pleasure to serve as President of the Edmonton and District Dental Society for the 2025–26 season. The EDDS is celebrating its 112th year, and is recognized as being a strong pillar of support for the local community, a facilitator of excellent dental continuing education, and the driver behind the Northwest Dental Exposition.

The NWDE is one of the largest single-day dental trade shows in Western Canada, and we are proud to continue to host this popular event. We are delighted to bring together dentists, dental assistants, dental hygienists, administrative and office staff, lab technicians, sales representatives and industry specialists all under one roof, for some learning, networking, and fun!

In addition to the principal exhibition event located on the Assembly Level of the Edmonton Convention Centre, there will be a series of lectures scheduled on the Meeting Level. Under the leadership of our NWDE Chair, Dr. Leon Yu, we are pleased to present a dynamic selection of speakers. We trust that these sessions will fulfill some of your continuing education requirements, as well as enlighten you for your own personal growth and development.

For dentists who are interested in learning more about the EDDS and the exciting scientific sessions that are planned for the 2025–26 year, please visit our website at www.eddsonline.com.

I wish to express my sincere appreciation for everyone in attendance today, and for all the volunteers who were involved in the planning process. I also wish to send a big THANK YOU to our sponsors, whose generous financial support enables the NWDE to flourish and to kick off the Fall season with a bang!

Dr. Sigmund Lee
2025-26 EDDS President

 

NWDE Chair's Message

On behalf of the EDDS Edmonton Dental District Society board, I would like to say: Welcome to the NWDE Northwest Dental Expo 2025.

With over 1100 expected attendees, this annual one-day event is the biggest event of the year for the Edmonton and Alberta dental community.

Our theme this year – ELEVATE – is a call to rise together:
in knowledge, in clinical excellence, and in how we care for ourselves and each other as professionals. It is about pushing boundaries and broadening our perspective on what it truly means to thrive in dentistry today.

In the large exhibit hall with over 200 vendor booths, attendees can mingle and network and explore and shop with each other and industry professionals. In the 4 lecture theatres, a lineup of expert speakers will be sharing their knowledge that should be insightful and interesting to all dental professionals and team members. New this year, we're also excited to introduce a dedicated focus on physiotherapy in dentistry, a timely and important conversation around wellness, ergonomics, and long-term practice sustainability.

I encourage all attendees to participate and immerse themselves in the experiences of the Expo at their own pace and leisure. Whether you are here to learn something new, reconnect with peers, or reflect on how to elevate your practice, we are thrilled to have you with us.

Thank you for being part of this day and this growing community of forward-thinking professionals.

The EDDS and its events would not be possible without the support of our partners and sponsors, exhibitors and vendors, members and volunteers.

Let’s make it a great one!

Sincerely,
Dr. Leon Yu

Chair, NWDE 2025



Thank you to Our Distinguished Sponsors
